Nuit Blanche Rumble: Show Us Your Best Night Shots!

Nuit Blanche is one sleepless night filled with art and inspiration. It hits Toronto this Saturday, September the 29th and we’ve got a rumble to get you night owls involved in this great contemporary art movement! Piggies to be won!

Making its seventh annual mark in our great Canadian city that is Toronto, Nuit Blanche celebrates art from sunset to sunrise – literally! Everyone is welcome to roam the streets and explore different zones consisting of different types of interactive installations. From exhibition projects by the City of Toronto to independent projects produced by the arts community, there is plenty to explore for those out and about during the night.

In celebration of this, we thought we’d get a rumble going for our entire Lomography community. Suitably named “Nuit Blanche”, we’re asking for your absolute best NIGHT shots! Bring on the long exposures and light painting! Show us your best pieces of art created in the dark of the night!

The rumble will run until next Monday, October 1st and winners will be selected in the following few days after.
